But if she got her neck broken, is it really a natural death?

I was going to put quotations around the natural

You will either drool or laugh.
Cornbread cake, mashed potato frosting, drizzled with brown gravy and topped with fried chicken.

Holy cow!!

I'm trying to contain my excitement, but I am pretty sure I just heard the egg song! My girls are 17 weeks and it was just practice, but I heard it!

Last evening I saw that a nestbox had been visited and someone had made a nest. I wasn't too suprised, though very happy to collect THREE eggs today!

I began the process of canning a turkey today. I should have just cooked it! I have never cut a turkey before, and when it is raw... I got it done, and everything in jars. Now I have decided to cook the carcass and any parts that I couldn't get to cooperate in the roasting pan to make broth, and hopefully get more meat off! See? I should have just cooked it.

Oh well. The jars are in the fridge for the night.
I know it is a silly question, but I need reassurance. I can push air out of my jars like I usually do, and not add any broth? I do know it will make its own, but the idea of not adding liquid scares me. Is it really that simple?

I have heard several people mention canning poultry. What is it like? How do you use it?

Pleasantly surprised to visit the weedy garden and find some of my seeds have actually sprouted. I was sure that they rotted with all the rain.

i always added water and a little salt, never heard of just putting the meat in, no liquid

Sandwiches, soups, chicken and dumplings, chicken and waffles, salads, pizzas, Buffalo chicken dip (I had buffalo chicken pizza for dinner!) add to macaroni and cheese, casseroles, and finger food for toddlers. Not to mention the animals all like it.

Mmmmm...buffalo chicken! Thanks. I don't know how to can, but I would like to learn.

we canned chicken once and directions said not to add any water. We didn't and it made plenty of its own. I was afraid not to add water too but it turned out great

We don't add any and the chicken always has made it's own, but you can add a small amount if you want. you can add a little to a couple jars and not the rest and compare the result to see which you prefer.

. I can hardly believe this. Another broody! This is my Bantam Langshan that went broody in Dec, then in the spring, and she is back on the nest. Here's a question for you all. I gave my other broody eggs to hatch on Tuesday afternoon. Could I take some eggs from Broody #1 and put them under Broody Or would that not be enough to time for broody #2?

I prefer a hen be broody for 10 days or more before getting chicks (14 days is even better), though it can be stretched for experienced hens and some who seem willing to adopt kittens and puppies when they are feeling broody... just watch her behavior closely around hatch time. I had a hen smother a couple of chicks which hatched under her after a short set (about 10-12days) and i realized too late she just hadn't transitioned to hatch mode...she hadn't talked to the eggs the last day or two and just seemed a bit freaked when she suddenly had fluffy chicks when she wanted to sit on eggs. We removed the rest of the eggs and gave them to a broody who was ready to hatch and gave the first hen some other eggs which gave her an extra 2 weeks. She hatched the second group with no problem and was a perfect broody mom to them.
